(AP) Last Feb. 14, Liz Tuccillo called directory assistance to get a phone number for a store. Big mistake.
A message greeted her: "Happy Valentine's Day." It was the last thing Tuccillo 43, single and the co-author of "He's Just Not That Into You" wanted to hear.
"It is a painful holiday," says Tuccillo, whose humorous 2004 best seller counseled women in dead-end relationships. "I'm looking up the phone number of a store, and I have to be reminded that I'm single!"
Lots of people hate Valentine's Day. Many are single. But even people in committed relationships can have a rotten time.
For some, it's because their partner, out of carelessness, forgetfulness or something worse, doesn't come through with that romantic gift or thoughtfully planned date. Others might be going through a difficult moment in their relationship. Valentine's Day is like a huge magnifying glass hovering over all those warts and pimples.
